In SEDE Committee Press I come to the argument of a UE striving for global leadership: military effectiveness and strong economy. Still unclear about strategic autonomy. We can't flip a coin when deciding about 2% GDP for #Defence: #NATO/#PESCO. Need a clear mechanism for EU intervention.

Just confirming what I said yesterday in European Parliament about NATO versus #EUStrategicAutonomy:the launch of #DefenderEurope the largest exercise of U.S.-based military forces to #Europe in more than 25 years: load vehicles, heavy equipment from Fort Hood, Fort Bliss, Fort Stewart

Roemeense oud-president Traian Basescu : Onterechte terughoudendheid van de netto-bijdragers. (...) De nieuwe staten (hebben) hen een markt (...) gegeven. #Roemenië heeft 16K artsen verloren en 220K ingenieurs, die bijdragen aan (de economie van) deze landen. #MFF Jaap Jansen

The revolt against EU climate policies has started in earnest. Ex-Romanian President warns #EUGreenDeal could push "2 or 3 countries" towards EU exit. €10bn funding for Romania is "ridiculous" and not enough to phase out coal, he warns. THREAD. 1/4 euractiv.com/section/energy…
